Hi, I'm from Ireland, living in County Galway, in the countryside. I am originally from Count Sligo, so that's West Ireland.
I'm Arabic,I live in Batna, east of Algeria, north of Africa; and I'm not black because whenever i tell someone that my country is situated in Africa; they tell me 'so you're black.....' don't know why?
Welcome everyone.... Koren, are you a Sebastian Barry reader then? He's one of my favourite writers...always wondered what it would be like to visit where your from after reading his books...
I'm currently living in Washington, DC, originally from Oswego, NY. I miss Lake Ontario, but not the snow.

From Lancashire in the UK about 30 ..."
I grew up in Blackpool...mostly. :)
Currently living in Wheaton, Illinois, close to Chicago. Originally from The Netherlands and I can't wait to move back in 2.5 months!
Mariska... you brought a distant memory back to life for me... My grandmother's family settled in Wheaton... after coming from Europe. All the family but a brother made their way to Canada in the end... I remember going to a huge family reunion in Wheaton in the 80's and having a blast... I think the family are all gone now... I think the son went on to be a big TV chef, and own several high end bed and breakfast places along the east coast... What brought you there from the Netherlands? I'd be excited to go back too!!! lol
Working here as an au pair and living with the family I work for. Been over 10 months now so really miss my family and friends but it's a great place to live, I'm sure I'll miss it when I get back

Enjoy the rest of your time with your work family!
